The Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) is an ancient pre-Qin Chinese book. It is generally believed that it mainly describes ancient myths, geography, products, sorcery, religion, old history, medicine, folklore, ethnicity and other aspects. Some scholars believe that Shanhaijing is not only a myth, but also an ancient geography, including mountains, rivers, birds and animals. The entire book of Shanhaijing consists of eighteen volumes, with a total of 31,000 words. It recorded more than 100 states, 550 mountains, 300 watercourses, as well as related terroirs and natural resources. Most of the records contained are the records of the survey by the sorcerers, fangshi and ancestral temple officials of the past generations, which are more or less exaggerated after a long period of time of writing and compilation, but they still have a high reference value for us to learn about ancient times.
